You know what I mean? And I get to look at all the comments on YouTube and social media and Reddit and everything and just kind of take it all in. The next thing I know, it's 3.30 a.m. And I'm like, why did I do all of this? And then I had to wait. You know what I mean? That's the thing that got me.
What happened to Vince Zampella and how did the hosts react?
But how are you feeling?
I'm feeling good. I try to be responsible. I have this thing where... Once I start to drink, I become very aware of the things that I need to do. I start drinking more water. That is incredible. I'm the most responsible person. I might be more responsible when I drink than when I'm sober.
Very, very good value to have.
Yeah. I haven't had a hangover in maybe like... a year and a half now. I had a hangover so bad that all of a sudden, now when I drink, I'm like, all right, give me water. What time is it? How long do I need to sleep? When do I need to wake up tomorrow? I just become aware of everything. I went home at 10.30 at night. I'm well slept.
Amazing.
Um, how are you feeling after yesterday though? Like in regards to the announcements, regards to like everything going on this year. Honestly thrilled.
Like everything went, went so well. I feel like almost every year in the, as long as I can remember now, it's like, oh, that was the best kind of funny day we had. Best might be for different reasons, but like yesterday, man, we have such a great team. We just had fun. Like, there was, like, no drama, and there's rarely drama within the team. But, like, even just with the community, with the announcements, with just the energy overall, it's like, oh, we're just winning out here. And it feels good to win, you know? I'm so excited to be back here doing Games Daily. It's been way too long. And, yeah, I feel like we've just taken great content and made it just a little bit better. So let's get it going.
Well, let's get right into it. Because remember, if you're watching live, you can be a part of the show by super chatting on YouTube.com. So that's kind of funny games. We have a lot to talk about today because all the news that broke over the break. So super chat in, have a conversation with us. Of course, we couldn't do this without our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Psalm Twining. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. It's time for some news.
We have six stories today. A baker's dozen! Starting with our number one. Kevin, that was incredible. I know. Didn't that sound like he had an actual effect on it?
Yeah, like he's a DJ back there. Very good.
Story number one is a very, very sad one. Vince Zampella, Respawn co-founder and head of Battlefield Series, is dead at 55. I am reading from Wesley LeBlanc at Game Informer.
